Sun, 08 June 2003 14:53 Dude, The car was actually only $2000 which was actually courtesy of Scrote so right now its really more his than mine. It actually needs ALOT of work before I'll be happy with it but most of it is prety straight forward. Whoever had it before obviously new SFA about cars # The fuel filter wasn't even clamped inline so it pissed fuel out constantly but that has been fixed temperarily with some hose clamps and I'll be mounting a fuel filter mounting bracket soon as I get the chance. # The thermo fan needs attention as its wired to be on constantly so that needs a relay and thermo switch. # The battery just sits there (Nothing holds it down) # The earth strap it to short and is not bolted to the body (Its also all freighed) # The radiator header tank leaks like a sive and needs a new core (Its the original core !!) # The clutch slips like a bastard so that need replacing. # It only got about 1/2 throttle before. I have got it to around 2/3 throttle now but when the new carby goes on i'll ensure that completely sorted out. # The horns and washer bottle looked cluttered in the bay so i have nearly finished relocating them. # The Engine is about 5 degrees of deing dead straight in the bay so that bugs the hell out of me and needs to be fixed # Because its crooked the alternator can just touch the lower radiator hose (That means I have a good excuse to make new mounts and straightenthe engine ) # And of course compression is down in number 1 so I have an excuse to drop in a "new" 2T (Bloody thing still goes like a champ tho so there is no hurry) # Oh yeah also needs a new fuel filler cap as it leaks a little # Tires are good tread wise but old so they will get updated (maybe with some bigger rims if I can find a set at the right price ) # Instrumentation also needs expanding.. Only has a speedo and fuel and temp guages so a Tacho and oil pressure guage are going in at the very least. # mmm Prolly needs some form of a stereo too ! # And of course it only has 2 weeks rego ! BUT... It chassis is dead straight The rear Tray is in awesome nick and the body has no accident damage at all and absolutly bugger all rust ! So even tho it sounds kinda bad reading whats wrong with it I recon it was a Bargain ! (specialy since i bought it with Scrotes money lol ) [Report message to a moderator]
